Thanks for the post.

I find that Pierre Michaud: usually has a well balanced view of things. Once again he hit the nail on the head with this review.

My french is really rusty and my Quebecois non-existent, but I understood a little here and there.

Can someone post the test results for 0-100 kph and braking?

Also, what were their comments on the semi-off road braking?
